Title Under Construction

So a lot of weird stuff is happening at school these days. And I'm not just talking about the Teriyaki Chicken Chunks at lunch today... But, I'm not quite sure who or what to believe, so if I'm a little stressed out - you probably know why.

Today in Hellth, we did all diseases and impairments of the female sexual system along with childbirth, and boy, do I not want to have children. Ever. Or use tampons... Wehrkamp ruins EVERYTHING. Not that there's much you can ruin about menstruation.

Would you find it weird if a person my age walked into the library, got one novel and about 15 children's books? Because I thought it was odd, and I didn't have to check myself out. (Not like that...)

The number of times I've almost killed me and other people while driving has drastically increased as of late. Lane changing is a lot harder than it looks, sheesh. And your car shifting to Neutral basically on it's own in the middle of a turn on a busy street is not a good thing either. On Saturday, I started driving with our instructor for the exam. I. Hate. It. I've relayed the whole story several times, and I'm not about to type it up, either. Too much mental pain...

Well, those are my thoughts for today. Piano recital coming up next weekend, and I practiced once this week. I have to give my huge, semester test controversial speech this week, finished it yesterday, and our Oral Interp. presentations and catapault start on the 5th and 6th of May. God, I hope school is almost over. I can't handle these huge projects anymore...

Jump The Gun

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been a little swamped with procrastination, the occasional homework assignment and disease.

GUESS WHO CAN GET HER LEARNER'S PERMIT?!?!? It only took two tries...but I'm SO GLAD DRIVER'S ED IS OVER! I can't even express it in words. Now we move onto the driving portion. I can only think of one thing more frightening than me on the road...me on the INTERSTATE going +65 mph. At least once I get my Learner's I can practice driving legally with a person over 18 years of age between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. (see, Melanie WAS listening during DE...)

I also got over the fact that Elizabethan England sucked and finished my project last night. It's pretty good for being written in under two hours with no experience prior. Now I need to work on that presentation...

How much do the new Schedule Regulations suck, people? I think we should picket! Gather the wood and paint my fellow freshman! I've already taken a semester of P.E. and I'm taking Hellth. And now we hear one has been a waste of time? PICKET!

On a lighter note, here's a few bands you should all listen to and enjoy:
- Daphne Loves Derby
- Edsion Glass
- Driving East
- Number One Gun
- Flight 409
- FM Static
- Haste the Day
- Kill Paradise
- Sullivan
- The Send
- Test Your Reflex

Also, one person we haven't heard about recently, my Sweater Guy, likes to run into people. He ran into me today and afterschool basically bowled down Zoey. We won't mention what happened after that event...including Rich dramatically falling to the floor in front of Crushing Barbie Chick. Which was funny. At least my Sweater Guy hasn't DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET. Remind Alissa to find a new one.

I'd like to finish with a quote from Jack Handey I came across today: "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason." And if that doesn't make you laugh, go put a "Kick Me" sign on your FACE.

P.S. Yes, the Rice Krispie wrappers ARE different.

From End To Beginning

JANUARY 29, 2007!!

The BIG DAY has finally arrived! An official release of music from the mysterious, availing Panic At the Disco has hit the earth at approximately NINE, IN THE AFTERNOON. I suggest you all go listen to this amazing piece of artistry at the cost of the universe collapsing in around you otherwise.

But enough about them. This is MY blog, is it not? And besides, it's not like most of my friends won't post page-long descriptions of every note in the freaking 3:13 minute piece of music on their blogs, anyway. Maybe...

Though I want to post something about myself, I have, despite myself, nothing for my periodical readers... One Act started yesterday (YAY RICH!) and I'll be seeing 1st and 7th period tomorrow in school. It better be good. But at least I have pencils to shove into my ears if it isn't. Hellth continues to inflict physical pain on me. Today we got to do the Heimlich Maneuver on each other, so the physical pain can be translated literally. I'm glad that if someone starts turning a nice shade of cerulean on me, I can save their life by doing chest thrusts. As if that's not dirty...

Things That Exist to Smite Me:

• Algebra
• 5B Study/Lunch
• All My Children
• Walls that jump out and run my face into their cement selves
• Colds. The nose kind.
• Cold. The 'effin chilly kind...like the outdoors.
• Comedy Central (why would you edit out things from Vicious Circle?!@?)
• iTunes that refuses to update

P.S. On top of buying 9ITA, you should all make yourselves own Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin. It's a heavy-hearted work of staggering genius. *wink*
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE COMES OUT FEBRUARY 5!!!

Nail-Less Fingers in Acid Bath

Compliments of Zoey Groman

I weaseled my way out of my speech today! Now I have to dread it another whole day! Last night I was shanking people on our Wii/GameCube game GUN. It was quite an entertaining game, actually. Their language was atrocious though... I got to slide-attack buffalo, trample wolves (and other humans), blow off people's heads (don't read into that one...), and shoot lots of weapons in general. I also killed a horse in cold blood. Ooops... No wonder its rated mature. Heh. I also kicked my mom's butt in Wii Tennis (it's a physically demanding sport!) and got K-O'ed in boxing.

Can you all tell I have NOTHING to blog about today?!

Mrs. Wehrkamp demonstrated how to exercise with a giant rubber band in health today for a good solid 15 minutes. And yes, I did catch the dagger looks she was sending me as I read - completely ignoring her. And FYI, if any of you commit suicide, don't send me any tapes listing reasons why you started pushing your own daisies. (See: TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY).

Countdown to Nine In the Afternoon! - 6 days

P.S. I suppose, as condiments go, mustard is pretty stellar. - Jade Puget

Really? Tell me more!

It makes me upset when you don't clean your room after I've told you more than once.
guess who's playing in the background?!? even though you couldn't see anything, knowing that alex was there and that music made me happy.

I'm angry when you ignore me when you're other friends are around.
i command you all to weave "snipes" into your daily conversation.

P.S. Guess who's going for Band Shirt/Skinny Jeans all this week!?
